Paroles de Coat of many colors

Back through the years i go wonderein' once again back to the seasons of my youthI recall the box of rags that someone gave us how my mama put the rags to useThere were rags of many colors and every piece was smallAnd i didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fallMama sewed the rags together sewed every piece with loveShe made my coat of many colors that i was so proud ofAs she sewed she told a story from the bible she had readAbout a coat of many colors joseph wore and then she saidPerhaps this coat will bring you good luck and happinessAnd i just couldn't wait to wear it and mama blessed it with a kiss

My coat of many colors that my mama made for meMade it all from the rags that i wore it so proudlyAlthough we had no money i was rich as i could beIn my coat of many colors my mama made for me

So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoesIn my coat of many colors i hurried off to schoolJust to find the others laughin' and a makin' point of meIn my coat of many colors my mama made for meAnd oh i couldn't understand it i felt i was richAnd i told them all the love my mama sewed in every stitchAnd i told them all the story mama told me while she sewedAnd how my coat of many colors was much more than all their clothes

But they didn't understand it and i tried to make them seeThat one is only poor only if they used to beNow i know we had no money i was rich as i could beIn my coat of many colors my mama made for me made just for me
